For many gay men, our relationship with our dad is one of the most defining- and least talked about. In this episode, we explore the nuances of our relationships with our fathers through three core questions: How did your dad react when you came out? How do you express your gayness around him today? Does being gay impact the level of intimacy you have with your dad? From there, we go deeper into family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the different expressions of love and acceptance between fathers and their gay sons. We get into physical affection between fathers and sons, how much access we give them into our lives, and the boundaries we set as adults. We also explore how these early relationships can shape the kinds of men we're attracted to… and the patterns we carry into dating and relationships. This is a grounded, honest conversation about the often complex and layered relationship between fathers and sons.

Film Fest Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this Thursday Greatest Hits episode, we replayed Ryan Leone's first appearance on Dopey — one of the wildest, most bombastic interviews we've ever done. Ryan was a ridiculously talented, handsome, funny writer who lived one of the most extreme addict lives imaginable: early Ritalin addiction, wilderness programs, stabbing a skinhead, running with cartels, moving kilos of Molly and heroin, multiple federal prisons, writing his cult-classic novel Wasting Talent while locked up, getting close with Johnny Depp, and battling brutal relapses after periods of success. We also had a wild voicemail from Dade about a naked, coke-fueled brawl that ended with her putting her feet through multiple walls, plus listener comments and updates. Ryan passed away in 2022 from fentanyl, which makes this replay especially heavy and important. His story is pure Dopey — chaotic, violent, hilarious, tragic, and full of hard-earned wisdom. Rest in Peace Ryan Leone! We Love You! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This episode is full of heartfelt stories, honest chats, and lots of appreciation.

Heads up, listeners. The ghosts of Hill House invaded this recording, so you might hear some audio glitches. In Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, Eleanor Vance has just buried her ailing elderly mother when she is invited to be part of a psychic investigation at a notoriously haunted house. The plan is to rent the home out for the summer and see what evidence of ghosts they can collect. What could possibly go wrong?

Is it true that we live in a world without facts? With AI becoming increasingly intertwined with our lives, and fake news infiltrating our screens, where do you go for truthful information and how do you know what to trust?
We head east to the legendary Gaspé coast for an unforgettable adventure chasing striped bass and Atlantic salmon. It was our first time exploring the region, except for Aldo who had been before - and the experience lived up to every bit of the hype. We were joined by our good friends Junior and David, and together we fished the rivers and coastal waters of the Gaspé while taking in the rugged beauty that makes this place so special. Along the way, we also filmed a short documentary called This Is Ours, which tells the story of the Gaspé Coastal lodge and the people connected to it. The film is currently touring in the PALM Festival and the Scale of Change festival, and this trip became a big part of that story. In this episode, we talk about first impressions of the Gaspé region, what it was like targeting striped bass and salmon in such an iconic fishery, the moments that stood out from the trip, and how the experience shaped the film. From road-trip laughs to powerful days on the water, this conversation captures the spirit of a place that quickly left its mark on all of us. If you love travel, fishing, and the stories that come from chasing fish in new places, DON'T MISS THIS EP! Special thanks to Junior and David for working their butts off to capture the film and content. AND to the fab people at Gaspé Coastal. WE LOVE YOU!

Ihr Lieben, 200 Folgen Lena & Liberta – wo sind die letzten sieben Jahre bitte hin? Selbst wir werden da ein bisschen sentimental. Zur Feier des Tages gibt es heute (mal wieder mit semi-guter Mikroqualität), dafür aber mit umso mehr Spaß eine große Lena&Liberta-Fragerunde. Denn: Ihr habt gefragt und wir haben versucht, so viele Fragen wie möglich zu beantworten. Wir hatten bei dieser Folge wirklich sehr viel Spaß – und hoffen, ihr beim Zuhören auch. Danke für 200 Folgen, euren Support, eure Liebe und eure geduldigen Ohren, die über die Jahre so manche Mikro-Katastrophe überstanden haben. WE LOVE YOU! Ihr seid die Besten.

Back in season three we dove in Mona Awad's ‘Bunny' with no idea what we were getting into, and even less idea how foundational a text it would be for this podcast and our discussions around dark academia and genre.We were both fascinated with how Awad would revisit Sam and the Bunnies, even though it's not dark academia as we know it. In the cult classic novel Bunny, Samantha Heather Mackey, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England, was first ostracised and then seduced by a clique of her saccharine sweet, rich girl cohort (who call one another ‘Bunny'). An invitation to the Bunnies' Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus Workshops where monstrous creations are conjured with wondrous yet deadly consequences.When We Love You, Bunny opens, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour, her one-time frenemies, furious at the way they've been portrayed, kidnap her. Now a captive audience, it's her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies' side of the story. One by one, they take turns holding the axe, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance, their discovery of their unusual creative powers ― and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship, Bunny. Frankenstein by way of Heathers, We Love You, Bunny is a prequel and a sequel, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete standalone novel. Open your hearts, Bunny, to a dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever dream, Mona Awad.How is ‘We Love You, Bunny' going to reframe our ideas of ‘Bunny'? How on earth will Awad follow up on her landmark fever dream novel?In this episode we discuss:Can a prequel or sequel undermine the original novel? Does that happen with the Bunnyverse?The unexpected link between ‘Katabasis' and ‘We Love You, Bunny' - Alice down the rabbit holeThe unexpected segway into a slasher
Jamie Betz began asking questions before forgetting became the default. When subtle changes in her memory didn't feel right, she chose to listen, to look closer, and to keep going even when reassurance would have been easier. This is the story of a woman who trusted herself, dared to find out, and, in doing so, changed the course of her Alzheimer's journey.In a digital world often shaped by cynicism, comparison, and the quiet pressure to perform, Andy Min and Thomas Sullivan chose something radical: love, spoken out loud. Through nature, narrative, and a gentler language of connection, their work reminds us that softness is not weakness, and vulnerability is not a liability. In this conversation, we explore their creative journey, their hopeful blueprint for a more emotionally intelligent generation, and why they believe three simple words still carry the power to steady us, heal us, and bring us back to ourselves: We Love You.Featured in 'The Reset Edition' of AwareNow Magazine: www.awarenowmagazine.comGuest: Jamie BetzHost: Allié McGuireMusic by: Paper PlanesProduced by: AwareNow Media#alzheimers #alz #alzheimer #alzheimersprevention #alzheimerscare

This episode I introduce a new podcast format I'm doing with segments exploring creativity, self-expression, and inner exploration. We move through reflections on curating the energy and content we consume, a segment highlighting inspiring creators, and a focused Q&A that opens into a deeper conversation.At the center is a listener question about starseed and lightworker identity, and the doubt that can arise when we still feel deeply human. We explore why inner exploration and self-compassion matter more than labels, and how knowing yourself within supports true multidimensional remembrance.The episode closes with a Whale Mothers transmission recorded on Santa Cruz Island, offering space to integrate, soften, and receive.

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay and contributor Maya Hay interviewed Mona Awad, author of the novel WE LOVE YOU, BUNNY, the prequel-sequel to her 2019 novel BUNNY. WE LOVE YOU BUNNY is a darkly comic thriller set in the world of an elite MFA program, where a successful young author is kidnapped by her former classmates and forced to hear their point of view of the account of secret rituals, monstrous creations, and dark academia originally spun in BUNNY. In the interview Awad discussed her evolving approach to character development, deepening the inner lives of her creations by exploring their insecurities and perspectives through multiple viewpoints. She described how the novel draws on fairy tale symbolism and personal experiences to highlight the tension between external expectations and creative freedom.Mona Awad is the bestselling author of the novels Rouge, All's Well, Bunny, and 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl. She is a three-time finalist for a Goodreads Choice Award, the recipient of an Amazon Best First Novel Award, and she was shortlisted for the Giller Prize.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

Orange marigolds, sugar skulls, skeleton face paint, and altars lined with photos and candles have become familiar elements for commemorating Day of the Dead, the ritual practice of honoring the deceased that has become a cultural phenomenon. Many of the traditions go back thousands of years to the indigenous peoples of Mexico, but others have roots in the United States, where the some of the first Día de los Muertos celebrations took place in 1972 with an altar in front of the Galería de la Raza in San Francisco's Mission District. We'll talk about the essence of this holiday and how the traditions, iconography and meaning continue to evolve. Guests: Liv Styler, artist and writer; her piece, “Memento (Me)mori(as),” is part of the SOMArts exhibit "Día de Los Muertos 2025: We Love You" Luisa Navarro, boutique owner, Mexico in My Pocket; author, "Mexico's Day of the Dead" Rio Yañez, artist and curator, co-curator, "Día de Los Muertos 2025: We Love You" at SOMArts Dr. Belinda Hernandez Arriaga, executive director and founder, ALAS, Ayudando Latinos A Soñar; licensed clinical social worker Learn more about your ad choices.

In this spontaneous pre-Halloween freestyle episode, the hosts begin with a light catch up session before getting into their full cosplay costumes (Kat as Storm from the Marvel comic books, and Moni as Dionne Davenport from Clueless). They share memories of Halloween traditions growing up, their favorite Halloween memories, and how those childhood rituals shape how we feel about the holiday as adults. The conversation pivots to Kanye West's “betrayal list,” which they use as a springboard to improvise their own betrayal list. This leads to a deeper discussion about what redemption really looks like after betrayal. The hosts playfully imagine creating a “redemption ritual” as a communal practice: whose job is it to decide what it takes to truly be redeemed after betraying your community? Tap in and hear what the ladies had to say. Cheers!*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

Nathan Maharaj spoke with novelist Mona Awad. Her debut book, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl was a Giller Prize finalist. Its follow-up Bunny was set in an Ivy League creative writing program and blended horror and suspense with wicked satire. We Love You, Bunny is her fifth novel, and it's a return to that creative writing program, revisiting the story through the perspectives of characters who apparently want to set the record straight but end up pulling us even further down this dark and twisting rabbit hole.

You might know Denise from Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, or as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 and a regular panelist on ITV's flagship panel chat show, Loose Women, or remember when she won Celebrity Big Brother in 2012. But what you might not know is the extraordinary story that shaped the strong woman she is. It's a story of addiction, depression, tabloid phone-hacking and the darker side of fame. It's also the story of sobriety, recovery and the surreality of having survived post-natal psychosis to become the mother of one of the famous musical frontmen in the world: Matty Healy of The 1975. In this beautifully candid conversation, Denise opens up about surviving the toughest times but knowing how to celebrate the good ones (and yes, she does give us the inside scoop on being a guest at Charli XCX's wedding). This episode is a testament to working-class grit and finding light at the end of the tunnel while never losing your sense of humour. I hope you take as much from it as I did.

The bunnies are back … and they're bloodier than ever. In We Love You, Bunny, Mona Awad returns to the surreal world of her best selling novel Bunny. A deliciously deranged mix of fairy tale, satire and horror, Bunny was loved by critics and readers alike. But what do the villains of that story — a clique of mean girls called the Bunnies — have to say about it? We Love You, Bunny provides a dark, hilarious answer. Mona joins Mattea Roach to talk about expanding the Bunny universe, getting into the heads of her characters and taking inspiration from drag queens. Liked this conversation?

We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad is the long-awaited return to the world of the sickeningly sweet (and maniacally maddening) clique in Bunny. Mona joined us live at B&N Union Square to talk about revisiting the Bunnies, Frankenstein, writing delusional characters, hyperfemininity, the myth of the outsider, surrealism and more with host Miwa Messer. This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.

It's the most mom-mentous time of the year on Hey Sis, Eat This—our third annual Mother's Day episode—and we're celebrating with the one and only Momma Ashley, our original inspiration and the real star of the show. To kick off this special weekend, Momma Ashley shares her plan for Mother's Day which includes donning her lucky green shoes with sparkly shoelaces and heading out to cheer on the Dallas Stars in the Playoff Game. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Courtney is experiencing her first Mother's Day as a single mom, and she's taking the opportunity to curate a day for her and her girls. Whether it's hitting up a rage room, exploring a museum, sipping on some margaritas, she's excited to plan whatever the heck she wants to do! You'll have to tune in next week to find out how she spent the day! Whitney recounts her weekend at the Lone Star Smokeout with friend-of-the-show and Storage Wars star Mary Padian, where they enjoyed delish bites from Hutchins BBQ while rocking out to some of the hottest bands in Country music. In true form, she stalked out a new guest for the show, legendary BBQ man, Matt Pittman of Meat Church who's the official pitmaster to the Dallas Cowboys. Highlights also include Momma's book club discovery of Zephyr Wright, the brilliant, overlooked chef behind some of LBJ's most legendary meals, Courtney's ongoing love affair with her Pizza Girl pizza grill, and Momma showing up to Whitney's “half-crocked” after Friday night Tex Mex. Join us as we celebrate all the incredible mothers, grandmas, aunties, and mother figures who deserve endless gratitude and praise for their tireless efforts and endless love—We Love You, Love Your Show!

While we're on a short break from recording, re-listen to one of our most popular episodes to date! Secrets out!!!! We're pregnant with baby #3 so it's time to give you ALL the details. We're deep diving and getting extremely candid about why we decided to share this pregnancy so early, the symptoms Dani has been struggling with and the pressures of living our life online. We talk baby names, wanting twins?? And Jordan wanting to move to a farm in Nashville?? Yeah, we're just as confused as you are lol. We also share our sweet families reaction and if we're nervous to go from two kids to three.

We're so excited to take y'all on this pregnancy journey with us, the good, the struggles and nausea you'll be hearing about it all. Mommas if you relate to the struggles Dani has been facing we're hoping this podcast makes you feel seen and heard.
